Management Practicums
(Feb – July)
Management Practicums are 2 hour highly interactive sessions designed to help participants put frameworks or tools introduced during the Director’s Stewardship Summit into action and apply them to real-world LBNL management challenges. These will also provide additional opportunity to receive peer coaching and feedback. The Management Practicums follow the Stewardship Learning Journey cycle (i.e., self development in February, team development in March, community development in April, etc.). Management Practicums take place on the 2nd Monday & 4th Thursday of every month from February – July 2025.
***You are required to attend 5 sessions out of the 12 offered before the Summit graduation on Wednesday, July 16, 2025 in order to be considered an alum of this program.***
